“Be quiet small man”… smallest dick energy I’ve seen today.
Musk is gonna be copping a lot of that in response to his tweets now.
Isn’t it becoming quite widely known now that he’s gotten a bad penile implant?
his brain is as broken as his willy
Dick so small he probably drives a Cybertruck.

I got permanently banned from Reddit for saying this. 17 hours and it’s still up uh
Edit: whoops 17 upvotes, not 17 hours ☺️
I got IP banned on Reddit for saying that someone who pushed a woman on a bike over and made her fall, should be pushed instead. Big violence on my part lmfao
.world gave up moderating Saint Luigi. I don’t know what .uk’s stance was
We’ll probably have to figure that one out but we largely let the Mods set the tone in communities and, as this is a friendly, helpful community, I wouldn’t bet on that post remaining.
Fuck it feels good to say that doesn’t it?
Absolutely
Calling someone else a small man really shows what kind of man he is
It’s quite an interesting insight into what kind of thing Musk himself feels is a great insult (hence he is susceptible to it) as well as how much Musk thinks his opinion counts for people such as the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, all of which dovetails with the idea that the guy suffers from both Megalomania and Narcisistic Personality Disorder.
For any reasonably well adjusted person in a position of responsability such as being the Foreign Minister of a country the size of Poland (or, frankly, for anybody self-aware and self-confident), being called “small man” by somebody like Elon Musk is roughly the equivalent in importance to being barked at by a dog that cannot actually harm you.
For a person who is afraid of being assassinated, he’s pissing off a lot of people with the resources who could get him assassinated.
When the war was turning in Ukraine’s favor and they were about to push into Russia, he shut it off and crippled their counter offensive. I remember. Fuck Elon and fuck starlink.
Not push into Russia, but attempting to retake Crimea.
They’re presumably talking about the Kursk Oblast.Edit: probably not, see responses.IIRC that was long after that. The initial shutoff of Starlink happened around the explosions targeting the Crimean bridge and them introducing their naval drones.
Exactly, he basically messed up the offensive to retake Crimea.
Elon & Trump are Russia’s greatest weapons.
Which is why Starlink needs to be confiscated and managed by NATO. Somebody has to operate it, and it should be an entity who is on the side of Freedom amd Democracy.
It’s not that easy to confiscate sattelites
Sure it is. You just confiscate the infrastructure that operates them here on earth, and order their employees to comply.
I don’t think that this would be a good idea, but it is definitely doable.
When it comes to stuff like this, the USA is like a tax heaven: outside of international jurisdiction and never signed any cooperation agreement with foreign powers. The USA is the best place to run shady business right now
Musk and Starlink aren’t major difference makers in this war. It’s a years-long slog where the main takeaway is “cheap and reliable in volume is more than a match for the newest and fanciest.” It hasn’t been on the verge of turning in Ukraine’s favor since the end of Russia’s initial push towards Kyiv.
I have a buddy who’s been eating/sleeping/breathing this war and, hands down, cheap and reliable FPV drones have changed how warfare is done. It’s the main reason why trench warfare came back, and one of the things that fucked Russia up in the mid-term. Apparently they have a long-standing strategy that involves armor and something something something that my buddy explained and I don’t remember, but because there’s always drones watching every inch of the front at all times, Ukraine was able to bust that strat by being able to dial in artillery fast and early. At least, that’s how I’m remembering what was explained.
It’s not rly the ability of drones to observe that makes them so strong, but the ability to attack. Russia’s air defense is unable to stop a drone swarm, especially because its something the world hasn’t yet seen. And if two drones armed with explosives take down a bigass helicopter, that’s a massive win.
A few weeks ago, Ukraine decimated an oil refinery on russian territory with a swarm of drones of which only 40% were taken down by the russian air defense.
cheap and reliable in volume
cheap and reliable FPV drones have changed how warfare is done
We’re in agreement here. I’m not saying new technology is useless, I’m saying there aren’t any wonder weapons (or wonder communication systems) that would have given Ukraine a decisive advantage.
Long-term, it’s still a matter of which side can outproduce the other when it comes to the cheap and reliable equipment we’re talking about. At this point that’s clearly Russia.
Is that why you guys are welding cages on your tanks?
“Everyone who disagrees with me is a Russian” was ran into the ground five years ago, get new material.
But yes, a steel cage offering significant protection against much more modern technology is a great example of what I’m talking about.
Oh no I’m hearing from people that wa a technical glitch.
Close. There was a geobarrier that he refused to remove. Because attacks against Russia are aggression.
Love it when the fucking around leads to finding out
Holy shit that jump is crazy. Carlos Slim related as well I assume.
That’s weird: Musk and Trump are doing exactly what one would if they were Russian assets, bent on destroying western alliances… You don’t have to believe all the evidence that they are… Just imagine that these 2 billionaires are compromised. What would they do at this exact moment in history…?
I can’t fucking stand that douche. I wish Luigi would visit that cocksucker. Man, that feels good to say. Fuck Reddit too!
Look at it this way, if they did indeed arrest and frame an innocent man for convenience, maybe he will.
Twitters UI confuses me. Where do I start? What’s the next one? And where’s the end?
It starts in the middle. It’s smaller and indented because it’s then being quoted by the Polish minister on top. Then Elon, fuckwit that he is, responds at the bottom.
How is that coherent lol. What happens when 4 or 6 tweets are twoted?
It was never meant to be used like this, and Twitter just never changed it out of pure stubborn bullshit
The original idea is that you’d retweet something, say something like “check out this bullshit” and then read the re-tweet, but people regularly use it as a reply feature that boosts to their audience instead and so this UI insanity happens
Okay that makes sense. I never really got on the twitter train so I’m appreciate the run down.
He also challenged Zuck to a cage match and chickened out when Zuck accepted. They’re both pieces of shit.
He even chickened out of his recent offer to come on the Daily Show and debate Jon Stewart! He’s a Nazi coward even when it’s just talking…
Did he officially bow out then? Jon gave him all the conditions he wanted too…
Lol I forgot about that! Yeah fuck em both of course, but I feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept control of freakin’ Russia over nepo-baby “gamer”, “engineer” Musk. What a goofy threat. And I say that as a middling gamer and engineer myself lol
Putin also practiced judo for most of his life. Musk won’t be standing for long during the match.
feel like most folks would put their money on the ex-KGB agent who seized and kept contr
Putin is 5’ 7", like 160 lbs, and 70 years old. Elon is 6’2", probably 200 lbs, and 52 years old.
I don’t think fitness and training can overcome 20 years, 50 lbs, and a full head of height.
and a full head of height.
I thought you were gonna say “full head of transplanted hair,” but I was disappointed. I’ve seen tiny guys take on bigger dudes when they have more skill. The age thing is more what I might think of as an advantage for that doughy chud.
Huh great point!
As a 6’2" dude, 200 lbs is pretty skinny. I’d bet Musk is closer to 250 lbs of useless fascist.
Musk is so fucked up he’s gonna make some noises, groan, then shit himself after the first attempt at a swing
70’s isn’t too shabby in this day and age for a well kept physique, it’s 80+ the rot cements itself.
It’s Zuck and Elon not Elon and Putin.
The Tweet linked in the OP is Musk claiming that he challenged Putin to a fist fight.
I don’t respect Putin very much, but I am 1000 percent sure that a former KGB agent will whoop Musks ass. Apart from that, wtf is he trying to show with challenging Putin to physical combat. What does that have to do with Ukraine?
He’s just a moron.
I hate Zuck but in this match I’m thinking if it’s not mutually assured destruction, then I might root for Zuck. Elon is becoming a very big problem.
Zuck is actually fit, trains, and is 10 years younger, hence why Elon chickened out.
Or 400 pounds of semtex under the cage. 2 birds, one ring.
I would literally give away a kidney to see that live, through binoculars from about a half mile away.
At least Zuckerberg looks good now. Musk looks like shite
Eh, I’d say he looks less like a robot rather than good. But yeah.
The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human…sweat, bad breath, everything.
Don’t let the fascists fool you, there are alternatives to Starlink. Eutelsat in France, Telesat in Canada and Inmarsat in the UK, just to name a few examples.
Why is starlink being used, do you know?
It’s faster, cheaper, and on the tech side more reliable (definitely not politically reliable though).
Starlink has enough uplink to be able to handle live video streams and a latency low enough to do this with simple tools.
I’m not sure if that still happens, but I’ve seen some pictures of Ukrainian command bunkers literally getting drone feeds using discord screen share.
My guess is better coverage and latency with its sheer number of satellites.
They use low earth orbit, which require them to use more satellites, but lowered latency.
Technically, and this is purely semantics, coverage is the major downside to starlink. They are faster, though.
The coverage of satellites has an exponential factor of the distance of that satellite to earth. If you had the satellite further out then its signal could reach a wider area before being cut off by the curvature of the earth. However, as the distance increases, so does latency.
Now, I don’t know, but I would assume its the latency. Starlink has a (impressively) low ping of < 100ms, while existing alternatives usually have 600ms+. Now, that’s only relevant if they are using it for stuff like flying drones.
I think you’d notice half a second even just browsing the Web.
Yes, but a wep page loading slow isn’t critical. Controlling armed drones in a battle is.
There is no substitute for Starlink"
The fuck did he think militaries use before 2020?
The high orbit low speed predecessor.
Abandon fucking Starlink and use Eutelsat. Poland should also stop buying US made weapon systems.
As much as I hate Elmo, you can fold Starlink terminal flat and put in a backpack and it weights around 6 kilogram and costs around $500, Eutelsat „portable” OW70L is fucking chonky dome that weights 30 kilos, costs $2000 and needs to be transported in a car. They need to seriously up their game, and do it fast.
Is there any evidence that Musk is right about Poland only paying “a tiny fraction of the cost”? Seems a strange comment to make
SpaceX is bleeding money but I guess they are taken care of for the next 3.8 years
for the next 3.8 years Now now, we should stop pretending that anything could happen in 3.8 years to stop that.
They’ll stop it in a few months when Putin tells them to.
What I meant is, they will be prevented from going bankrupt either way – whether the money hole gets filled by a massive contract or closed by Putin’s no-fly request.
3.8 years if we’re really really lucky. My money is that our luck ran out in 2016.
Scheduled to arrived by 2030, but the EU is developing one and it’s sounding pretty sweet: https://defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu/eu-space/iris2-secure-connectivity_en
Nationalize SpaceX and deport Musk to South Africa where he belongs.
(Ok maybe nationalize it under the next administration… if there is a next one)
I have a question is an immigrant allowed to be vice president ?
No right ?
That’s right, I think foreign born citizens can hold any office except president or vp
Maybe Trump was born somewhere else…
Please consult this reference manual: https://smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=235
VP has the same requirements as President, which exclude Musk because he isn’t a citizen by birth. Musk was essentially put in the highest possible position he could be that didn’t require him to be elected or confirmed by Congress.
Which is why he needed a puppet to be President for him. I don’t know that he ideally wanted a puppet he’d have to time-share with Putin, but that’s the puppet he bought.
And I firmly believe that aside from the occasional going off script as a kind of tantrum that Trump is entirely a puppet - consider the narcissism and desire to exude power that he has, and then look at him in the photos of that meeting where Elon was in the Oval Office with little Kevlar Musk and just how defeated Trump looks. He knows his choices were win office or be buried by the courts, and he signed whatever deals with whatever devils were necessary to guarantee it happened, he’s owned by Elon and Putin, he knows it and that eats at him.
